The power of those little comment-cards is amazing. The University of Washington Bookstore had never carried FreeBSD related stuff (not counting a few 4.4BSD related things) until today because a couple weeks ago I took 5 minutes to fill out one of those little comment cards recommending Greg Lehey's "The Complete FreeBSD" (which I hadn't actually read *grin*), and lo and behold as I walked through the UN*X section of the bookstore today there were four copies sitting right there where they should have always been along with four sets of the Walnut Creek 2.2.6 release cd's!!! =) Well, not quite were they should have been, but I quickly rectified the situation by moving them to impulse-buy-eye-level right above the redhat 5.1 boxes (swapping them with linux development books which were wasting this prime selling space and tossed those down next to the UNIX Dummies books.:) Anyone going to the U, come buy these right now!! ;-) I just wish I had filled one of those things out before; I had forgotten how susceptible bookstores were to customer feedback. The Barnes and Noble down the hill here in our U district will order any book that you ask for that's not in stock and call you when it's there with no obligation to buy. So, please, everybody, go heckle your nearest bookstore!! ;) Don To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
